He Was Quite Young When He Lost His Dad
Alan Rickman was born to Margaret and Bernard Rickman in Hammersmith, London. Margaret was a homemaker while former WWII aircraft fitter Bernard painted houses and took jobs in factories. Rickman was just eight years old when his dad, Bernard, died from lung cancer. Margaret had no choice but to raise Rickman and her three other children on her own. As a single mother, she had a hard time making ends meet while working at the Post Office. Rickman said of his mom, “She was a tigress. She could do anything.”

However, this wasn’t actually the case for Rickman as the actor failed for “driving too cautiously through a green light!”
